(Xisuma's POV)(Yes, again.)

KERALIS WAS SHOT BY AN ARROW.

What?

How?

When?

Why?

That came in the middle of the night.

"Is Keralis alright?", X thought.

But before he could do anything more, X's eyes rolled about drowsily, and he flopped back into his pillow and snored softly.

(Mumbo's POV)

KERALIS WAS SHOT BY AN ARROW.

Mumbo was now wide awake. 

He got out his elytra and his rockets and he fixed his formal tie.

Blasting off, he went off in search of Keralis's base.

If he was right about the Alter-Egos, then this was NOT good.

(Time Skip brought to you by the author watching Mumbo's '10 Redstone Contraptions YOU Can Build!' and questioning why she's even watching redstone videos she can't even do.)

Mumbo alighted onto the ground in front of the bunker. 

Wincing as he did it, he broke the stone wall with a diamond pickaxe.

He looked around the hall.

Nobody there.

Tip-toeing cautiously,  Mumbo made his way around the whole base.

Not a single living thing.

Finally, the bedroom.

Keralis HAD to be sleeping there, right?

Mumbo opened the door and gasped.

On the bed there was Keralis's whole inventory.

Untouched.

But that also meant that he was trapped somewhere.

Oh no.

(Tango's POV)

How could he?

What had he DONE?

Shakily, he pulled down his demonic form of black and took off the clown costume.

But even after he physically calmed down, the thought was still in his head.

He, Tango (Or the Jingler) had killed Keralis. 

Who probably won't return.

Sighing, Tango forced his horns and tail back in and got ready for bed.

(Demise Keralis's POV) (Will refer to him as Deathralis, because have you a better idea?)

Deathralis visited the stone cell that held the new prisoner.

He hated the Current Egos as much as the others but this?

Why couldn't they just find a better way?

As he peeked inside, he could see the Current Ego trapped inside.

The poor hermit's eyes widened even more and whimpered.

"G-get away from me! You're just here to torture me too, aren't you?", Keralis whimpered.

Deathralis sighed.

"No. I'm just here to make a deal with you. A deal you might like.", he said soothingly.

Keralis still looked suspiciously at him so he continued.

"I had been permitted to learn a few tricks. I'm giving you a chance to be free during the day. During the day, you'll be free and I'll pretend to be you in there. During the night, however, we will switch places. Deal or no deal?"

"Darn. I wish my gray wasn't so menacing.", Deathralis thought.

"D-deal..", Keralis agreed muttering.

But Deathralis held up a hand. 

"I forgot something. The way we do it is by bodyswitching, though. We will switch again each day and night until both of us are free from the Frost Queen's command. Understood and accepted?"

Keralis was silent, probably meaning thinking.

Slowly, he nodded.

Deathralis nodded in return.

"Just remember: Don't be alarmed when you wake up in a different place in the morning. Just act a bit more serious and you'll be fine. I've even heard that if you please Menace or the Frost Queen enough, you may get both of us favors. Good luck, Keralis and good night.", Deathralis finished as he walked away.

"Thank you, D-Deathralis..", he heard Keralis stutter behind him.

Before Deathralis entered the living area, he gave one final warning. 

"But if either of us gets the other killed, that will result in death for both of us. Just a little side note."

(Scar's POV)

(Timeskip brought to you by some Dragon Bro antics.)

Scar woke up and stretched. 

"Another day for dead me.", he thought tiredly.

A cockatiel that Scar permitted to stay in his crypt flew up to him and chirped in greetings.

"Aw, thanks Kiwi. Good morning to you too!", Scar laughed as Kiwi nuzzled on his cheek.

Then, his chat updated.

Xisumavoid: MAJOR NEWS. COME IMMEDIATELY. IN FRONT OF SAHARA.

Cubfan135: Why in front of Sahara?

ImpulseSV: What's it about?

Xisumavoid: The quicker you can, the better. There's some kind of news that may just ruin your morning. BUT STILL IMPORTANT. ASAP.

Grian: Did X just use an ACRONYM?

Xisumavoid: Just come!

Scar sighed.

"Look, Kiwi? Can you take only TWO more parrots this time? Not a hundred?", Scar said to the lime green parrot.

The parrot had a mischievous look, but nodded.

What now?
